Ask the expert: Matric farwell attire

We asked Donieta Herr of Don Marco  how to dress for a va-va-voom matric farewell

EVERY woman loves to feel fabulous and beautiful, but many struggle to find the perfect outfit and look to make them feel comfortable and confident. Here are a few tips to help ensure your evening and your outfit are a success.

Plan and visualise how you would like to look for your glamorous evening. Identify  aspects of yourself that you’d like to highlight and choose your outfit accordingly.

Play to your strengths and emphasise the qualities you most like about your face and body. At Don Marco we have a qualified sales team who can dress you from head to toe.

Always choose well-fitting undergarments. Always go for elegance when choosing a glamorous gown or dress.

Remember to stay within your budget but keep in mind that quality and luxury are important when choosing your outfit.

You need to be 100% comfortable with your choice. Choose accessories and pieces that compliment your outfit – remember less is always more. Good jewellery and great shoes can go a long way to make an outfit look super glamorous.

When  getting ready, give yourself plenty of time for a proper pamper session.

Have a long hot bath or shower and really spend time on your nails and skin. When doing your hair and make-up, also afford yourself plenty of time. Choose make-up that accentuates your features but also complements your outfit.

Once your look is complete, all you need is good posture and confidence. When you enter the function,   act confidently and know that good things come to those who believe.
